Earth’s crust continuously melts and solidifies in the upper mantle. Why does oceanic crust solidify faster than continental cru

st?
A Continental crust spans a wider area and is generally thinner than oceanic crust.
B Magma beneath oceanic crust is a lower temperature than magma beneath continental crust.
C When magma comes into contact with ocean water it cools faster than when it reaches continental rock.
D Salt in ocean water accelerates the solidification process by way of chemical reaction.

The correct answer here is C. Water molecules are more free to move, so they will be able to engage in rapid and fluid contact with magma. This is in contrast to fixed continental rock, which may have quick initial heat transfer but which tapers off quickly because the rock is not flexible enough to send cooler rock towards the magma.

A neutron star collapses into a black hole because of the force of (fusion,gravity)
stealth61 [152]
Gravity

Neutron stars are the most extreme and fascinating objects known to exist in our universe: Such a star has a mass that is up to twice that of the sun but a radius of only a dozen kilometers: hence it has an enormous density, thousands of billions of times that of the densest element on Earth. An important property of neutron stars, distinguishing them from normal stars, is that their mass cannot grow without bound. Indeed, if a nonrotating star increases its mass, also its density will increase. Normally this will lead to a new equilibrium and the star can live stably in this state for thousands of years. This process, however, cannot repeat indefinitely and the accreting star will reach a mass above which no physical pressure will prevent it from collapsing to a black hole. The critical mass when this happens is called the "maximum mass" and represents an upper limit to the mass that a nonrotating neutron star can be.

However, once the maximum mass is reached, the star also has an alternative to the collapse: it can rotate. A rotating star, in fact, can support a mass larger than if it was nonrotating, simply because the additional centrifugal force can help balance the gravitational force. Also in this case, however, the star cannot be arbitrarily massive because an increase in mass must be accompanied by an increase in the rotation and there is a limit to how fast a star can rotate before breaking apart. Hence, for any neutron star, there is an absolute maximum mass and is given by the largest mass of the fastest-spinning model.

How are mean and median alike?how are they different?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Mean is the average you'll get when you add all your numbers then divide by the number of numbers you have. On the opposite side, median is the middle number within your list of numbers. If there isn't a middle number, take the two middle numbers and add them. Now, for how they are alike, I'm not so sure :'), but my closest guess would be they are fairly close together.

Sorry it's so long, hope I helped you :')

Which is an example of scientific evidence that can be used to critique a new scientific argument?
Margaret [11]
When we perform a study, we test a specific hypothesis to see whether our hypothesis is supported by the data or not. If our hypothesis is not supported by the data, then we can argue that a specific argument (that would be important for this hypothesis) does not have a claim in scientific research. 

This is more broadly meant though. Usually you need to perform multiple studies and test multiple hypothesis to be able to critique a scientific argument and see whether the claims it makes and the predictions it makes hold up in scientific research.
